Portrait of Alex, Youngest son of Sir William Board Bart

57.5 x 34in.
Estimate £3,000-5,000

Oil on canvas relined many years ago, canvas remains tight, paint is rather dusty and dirty with discolouration of the varnish, looks to have been some infilling of old craquelure around the edge of the lower part of his jacket, particularly where it meets above the trousers but otherwise very good original condition, housed in an ornate and almost certainly original gilt gesso frame which again is a little dusty and dirty but otherwise good but for some very minor dents and scratches, title plaque giving details of the artist and sitter to the front, Bourlet & Sons label verso, giving the owner as a Mrs Copeman, otherwise stamp on the stretcher from the stretcher and an old rather faded frame makers label across the top, overall good condition but does need a clean.
